Antitrust litigation
Cartels and other antitrust violations often result in serious harm. If you are adversely affected, you have a right to effective loss recovery. Where millions, and even billions, are at stake, working with lawyers who can help you achieve results is essential.
Antitrust litigation has become mainstream in the form of follow-on and stand-alone damages claims. The volume of claims has increased significantly in recent years, and collective actions for businesses and consumers are on the rise.
Digital regulation such as the EU’s Digital Markets Act is also enforced through private litigation. Data-driven business models, distribution practices or licensing terms are often at the heart of competition disputes. Antitrust litigation can also expedite access to essential data or infrastructure.
